Answer:
The perimeter of the drawing: 18 inches
The perimeter of the actual flower bed: 540 inches
If they were multiplied by 24 instead the actual perimeter of the flower bed would be 432 inches. The effect is that it decreases by 108 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the 4 inches and 5 inches and multiplying them by 30 gets 120 by 150. If its a rectangle we will add together all 4 sides to get the perimeter of the actual one.
Let Mary's age be x.
Paul is three times as old as Mary, so Paul's age would be 3x.
Peter is four times as old as Mary, so Peter's age would be 4x.
The sum of their ages is 64
⇒ Paul's age+ Peter's age+ Mary's age= 64
⇒ 3x+ 4x+ x= 64
⇒ 8x= 64
⇒ x= 64/8
⇒ x= 8
Paul's age is: 3x= 3*8= 24
Peter's age is: 4x= 4*8= 32
Final answer: Paul is 24 years old.
Peter is 32 years old.
Mary is 8 years old.
Hope this helps~
